EC 1.62, PH 6.5, 24.2C, 63% RH
I guess they ate a bunch of P. I added PH down to fix PH and enaugh nutrient to go 1.8 mS EC.
Soon I will raise to EC 2.0 mS.

EC 1.85 mS (from 2.0 mS 10 hours ago), PH 5.8, 23.8C, 67% RH
I added more nutrient to go to 2.0 mS again.
Raised the light a bit.

EC 1.93 mS, PH 5.8, 24.6C, 69% RH
I had to raise light a bit, supercrop more crops and tie some of them. Soon I will need to do some more defoliation as well.

EC 1.84 mS, PH 6, 22.8C, 67% RH
I added enaugh nutrient to go EC 2.0 mS again, then took some pics. The smell on them is already sweeter, like usually happens later in flower. Never seen so fast progress in terms of smell and resin!

EC 1.97 mS, PH 6, 24.6C, 71% RH
RH starts climbing again, probably need to do another round of defoliation on the underside. PH seems stable.
Bobr happy. All good!

Where are you measuring the RH? On top of the canopy? 71% in flower would concern me . . . but then I just had budrot on an indoor plant for the 1st time, so I am sensitive to it.

I think they ate some more P and that changed PH of solution a bit. I added PH down to go down to 5.8-5.9 again, cleaned some more fan leaves and tiny branches that can't reach the light from the underside of the canopy. Hands are sticky up to elbow just from touching the lower stems while reaching in to do the cleaning.

I use Trotec (any of the cheaper TTK models will do for a tent or small room), but might only be available in Europe. Whatever you do, buy a real one with a compressor and not the toy like ones that use Peltiere elements. Look at the dehumidifying capacity per 24H and keep in mind that is the maximum that it can do at high efficiency (hot and humid environment). Also better have option to dump water out by hose, so you can put it to a drain or reservoir, instead of emptying the small tank multiple times a day.
